Sourcetree 2.3.1.0 - fail to authenticate to an enterprise installation that uses Windows Creds

Robert Larson_pu849r

Have a corporate enterprise GitHub installation. Switching from GitHub desktop to Sourcetree. Getting

remote: invalid username or password

fatal: Authentication failed for https://github.customer.net/....repository.git/

I cannot push or pull. At work stoppage and need help to fix this.

I have cleared all credentials in the Windows Credential manager related to sourcetree and GitHub.

What do I need to do now to get prompted for credentials so it can store the windows credentials.

5. Click Ok
6. Close Sourcetree

8. You will be prompted for credentials, enter your userid and password and it will cache them and should work.
